| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in dark red on a cream-toned paper with a fine wavy-line underprint, the obverse is dominated by a central oval guilloche vignette bearing the large white denomination legend "EINE MARK". Flanking the central vignette are two symmetrical heraldic griffins with spread wings, set against an architectural background with rosette ornaments and decorative scrollwork. Denomination numerals "1" appear in guilloche roundels at the upper left and upper right corners, with the issuing authority and place name across the top, the date and location at lower left, and a handwritten commandant's signature at lower right above a printed serial number. |

Mannschaftsgefangenenlager Quedlinburg was one of several lower-rank prisoner-of-war camps established across Germany during the First World War to hold captured enlisted men — "Mannschaften" as distinct from officers. Internal camp currencies of this type were introduced to control what prisoners could acquire and to prevent the accumulation of Reichsmark by men who might attempt escape. The 1 Mark denomination sat at the practical middle of the camp's scrip range, usable at canteen facilities but not easily saved into meaningful sums.
Serial numbering on these issues served an administrative rather than anti-counterfeiting function — camp authorities needed to account for scrip in circulation against canteen float balances.
